The soul is healed
Who: Felix, his son Ryuga, and ANYBODY
What: Watching after his child
When: Today
Where: The play room at the resort
Rating: PG for kids
Years ago he might have worried what people would think if they saw him now - the people he once knew in the Mirador certainly would be laughing themselves silly - as he sat at a comically tiny set of table and chairs. Considering everything else that had happened, it was now the least of his concerns. One of them was Ashura, who he'd left in their room to rest after quite a bit of goading, while he took their fussy impossible progeny out to play. He watched with a tired but gentle smile as his son rolled a tiny plastic truck across the floor to his feet.
His son. He could never quite get over that.
Felix rolled the toy back with his foot, but Ryuga simply frowned and tossed it away, evidently unsatisfied with this.
"You don't like that one?"
Ryuga shook his head, obviously pouting.
"Well, what do you want?"
The boy only whined louder, and Felix rubbed at his temple. The boy had been much easier to entertain when he was smaller, and not quite to the age where he could articulate it effectively. But he'd have to think of something soon, before this turned into a tantrum.

Phoebe nodded slowly, reaching out and gently touching Felix's arm. "I understand. Peter and I have been going through the same thing. We actually moved out of the castle for a little bit - to Peter's apartment in town."
She took a breath, watching the children for a moment. It was difficult thinking of the events of the Event Horizon and the emotional and mental fallout since then. "This has been helping. Though it will take time to fully heal. "

Felix stiffened just slightly. Even used to Phoebe's affection, he still found it difficult to accept, and was too fond of her still to say anything.
"Yes, that it will. I only wish we could be rid of that ship sitting outside. It isn't a pleasant reminder regardless of what didn't happen on it."
Of course, it would be easier if that was the only thing weighing on Ashura's mind. Gideon's arrival continued to put a strain on them both.

Phoebe felt Felix's stiffening and frowned slightly. She understood but it still saddened her somewhat. The frown was easily redirected at the thought of the ship, however. She sighed and let her hand drop, arms wrapping around her midsection as if she suddenly felt a chill. "I agree. I know I'd sleep better if I didn't have to look at it..."
no subject
He didn't mean anything by it. He just didn't like being touched, for reasons that were not easy to explain, even to people he trusted.
"If you're having nightmares, my offer is still open..."
no subject
Phoebe could understand that, which is precisely why she would never push him. She knew that if he wanted to talk to her about it he knew she would always listen. "Thank you, Felix. I'll certainly keep that in mind. I think time is the best thing for us right now." She looked over at her daughter laughing as she looked over her shoulder at the boy chasing her. "This is definitely a welcome distraction."
no subject
"I cannot argue there."
Meanwhile, recovering, Ryuga continued after Penny, curling his fingers and making growling sounds, apparently deciding this chase was better if he was tiger.
no subject
Penny giggled at Ryuga's transformation. "Oh no!" Her laughing caused her to lose some ground but she recovered quickly, climbing on top of some of the larger climbing blocks and waving down at him. "I'm queen of the mountain!"
